Dazz, you still didn't address either of my posts. I will repost so you can't miss them.
Can HS tell my 4way/8way servo controlled joysticks which setting to move to based on the MAME INI?
Can HS be rotated on the fly and have MAME orient its rotation based on HS's current setting? Can that rotation be automated from w/in HS?
Can one make HS look and act like Urban Interactives Star Wars FE? If it can be done then I have some serious uses for HS.
His loader, which you can get here, is in the May 5 2009 post. Here's an early vid of his launcher, the current version in the download link is better:
It would be cool if you would answer my questions while you're answering everybody elses. Kaithanks.

Dude... I haven't answered your questions because your questions about 4/8way and screen rotation have already been answered by someone that's more familiar with how 4/8 way switching works than I am. My answer would be; if switching is done via command line then it can easily be added to the Launch scripts that HyperSpin uses.
As far as the Urban Interactives Star Wars FE. It's great for a hand full of games... but anything over that it's kind of useless. No HyperSpin isn't going to duplicate the spinning block.

Thanks Dazz, I just wanted to get the information from the horse's mouth. It would be a shame to call your FE useless based on bad information.

Have you tried command line MAME?

Thats what the front end is launching, so who isn't?

Agreed!!!

So Im working on my FrontEnd as we speak. I am still going back and forth between these two. I am building the front end in MALA right now, but am probably going to build a Hyperspin theme as well. DAZZ, do you have any examples of really well done themes? I would like to see an example of someone else who has done it right. It might help me get the noggin rolling.
Also, I think it is funny that people say things like "You dont play the front end". The way I see it, you spend all of this time creating a bad ass cabinet, configuring it, etc, why would you skip out on the front end design to add that last layer of polish?? Big letters on a plain background seem like a cop out. Just my opinion.
